Help your Grade 5 class practise adding and subtracting fractions with six sets of Maths task cards covering common denominators, unlike denominators, mixed numbers, estimation and word problems. This adding and subtracting fractions task cards bundle keeps the related skills together, so you can choose the right practice for your lesson without searching for separate activities.

📚 What's Included

The six task card resources cover different parts of fraction addition and subtraction, from working with denominators to applying calculations in everyday situations.

• Equivalent fractions and common denominators: Practise finding equivalent fractions and working with common denominators, skills needed when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators.
• Adding fractions with unlike denominators: Questions focused on adding fractions when the denominators are different.
• Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators: A separate set for practising subtraction with different denominators.
• Adding and subtracting mixed numbers: Recipe-themed Maths task cards that bring mixed-number calculations into a familiar context.
• Estimating fraction sums and differences: Practise estimating the results of fraction addition and subtraction rather than always calculating exact answers.
• Fraction word problems: Apply addition and subtraction skills to written problems that require students to decide which calculation to use.

📝 Topics Covered

• Equivalent fractions and common denominators
• Adding fractions with unlike denominators
• Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators
• Adding and subtracting mixed numbers
• Estimating fraction sums and differences
• Solving fraction addition and subtraction word problems
• Recipe-based mixed number problems

🏫 How Teachers Can Use It

Use the Grade 5 fraction task cards in Maths centres or small-group sessions when students need more practice with a particular skill. The separate addition and subtraction sets make it easier to target one operation before moving on to mixed calculations.

For independent practice, choose the estimating fractions task cards or fraction word problems after students have worked through the calculations. The recipe-themed mixed number cards also give you a different context for revisiting the same operations. Keep the adding and subtracting fractions task cards available for revision later in the term.

💰 Bundle Savings

All six Grade 5 Maths task card resources cost $19.20 in this bundle, compared with $24.00 when purchased separately. That's a saving of $4.80 (20%).

Having the adding and subtracting fractions task cards together means you can move between common denominators, fraction calculations, estimation and word problems without looking for another set of practice questions.
